Chris Tabish: Finding Yourself by Finding Your Passion Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

Is there a way that you can use comedy to conenct with your co-workers better? Besides using your standard dad jokes? (please stop doing those)

This week, Dan speaks with comedian Chris Tabish, the co-founder of Venture West Consulting and the author of the new book "Comediology: Be More Effective and Fulfilled in Business With Comedy." Chris was like many people, stuck in a job that was taking a toll not only on himself but on his family. He was able to use stand-up comedy as a way to not only find himself personally, but find himself in business. It enabled him to break free of living outside of his heart and soul and find his voice, be present, and stop doing things for reasons other than experiencing joy and fulfillment.

Things discussed in this episode include...

- Why owning who you are is the ultimate way to bring true happiness in your life.

- The power of the "F It!" point and what you should take action when you feel you're ready.

- How asking yourself "WHY" can give you clarity in your current situation and where you want your life to go.

- Why making a career change may not be the right move and how to know it.

- How building the right environment around you can change yourself and your situation.

- Why the process of finding yourself can be just as powerful and fun as getting to where you want to be.

- How the fear of failure isn't necessarily what you think it is.

- Why you should recognize your success and give yourself more credit for what you've accomplished.

- How the fundamentals of comedy can actually be a way for you to build better connections with your co-workers.

Show notes

We've discussed vulnerability on Life Amplified before. But not quite like this.

Men's mental health has become such a major issue recently. Society is opening up more to male vulnerability, but we don't seem to know how to have the conversation. How can men open up and disclose how they're feeling? How can it truly affects their relationships?

- Why men have been conditioned to hide their wounded parts.

- What we see today as masculinity in news and politics isn't true masculinity.

Jim Fortin: Harnessing the Power of Your Subconscious Mind Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

So often, we go through life doing things and we don't know why we do them. Whether it's a habit, holding ourselves back from a new opportunity or staying in a soul sucking job. Underneath all of those actions are subconscious messages we have been taught or that passed down from previous generations.

Jim Fortin has made it his life mission to help people unlock those messages and help people change them. We're excited he's on the podcast this week!

For almost 20 years, Jim has helped countless people in the areas of unconscious sales influence, human effectiveness and NeuroPersuasion®. Jim Fortin is a leader in subconscious selling and performance and he is on a passionate mission to help selling professionals and entrepreneurs take both their sales and personal performance to unexpected levels.

In this episode, Dan and Jim talk about...

- How our subconscious mind is what drives our actions and how we may not even realize it.- The difference between our conscious thoughts and subconscious thoughts and how they don't necessarily work in sync with each other.- Why your concision actions might not bring you what you're looking for if your subconscious brain is wired differently. - How your subconscious thoughts can be hand-me-downs from your family and you don't even know it!- Why poor families continue to stay poor while rich families continue to stay rich.- How making the decision and declaration to change your life is the first step in a new direction.- The power of your environment and how it can either help you or hinder you in a new direction.- Why living a life of serving others is true key to building a new life and wealth, not having a J-O-B.- How your identity creates your external world, your external world is your beliefs objectified.
